The third book of Karen Kingsburys Redemption series was a brilliant continuation. After the events of September 11, Luke Baxter has walked away from everything that once mattered to him. His faith, his family, and his first love, Reagan. Luke is going through a rough patch in his life and though his family begs for him to come back, he shuns them all. Reagan Decker is also reeling from the events of September 11. After losing her father, she moves away to New York where she is pregnant withOne reason I don't read serial novels (or watch the show "Lost") is that as they progress, the plots become increasingly convoluted in order to keep the reader engaged in the story and turning the pages. So I'm not going to read the other two books in this series because the events and circumstances that take place in this family are looking less like every-day life. Where the first book began with one uncomplicated yet heartbreaking plot twist, this book leaves off with a number of inexplicable
I didn't really care for the Luke storyline which was a focus. It just wasn't that engaging to me. Also I was a bit frustrated to see yet another spiritual issue introduced with someone else in the family.The melodrama in this series is really hard for me. Five kids all of whom either have a serious marital crisis involving considering divorce or separation, or got pregnant out of wedlock (or got girlfriend pregnant), or were unbelievers as adults, or some combination of the above. It's well
So far this is definitely the weak link in the Redemption Series. I don't really expect much of this series other than to entertain, give me some sighable romantic moments and perhaps teach a few thought-worthy christian principles. The first two delivered as promised. However, the resolution in Return was just a little too quick and pat for me. Towards the end of the book every conversation was one that the characters had already had at least two or three times before. And I really couldn't get
Return is the story of Luke Baxter, the youngest of the family and also the only son of John and Elizabeth Baxter. 9/11 truly changed Luke's life forever. Now he's certain that God doesn't even exist, and if He does, He doesn't care. After attending several "free-thinking" meetings based on humanism, Luke decides that there's nothing more to this life than random coincidences. I really enjoyed this story. Luke Baxter's faith had never been tried by fire before and he firmly believed that if a
Luke, Luke, Luke. Without giving away this story, I will say that you will want to pray for him while wanting to shake him. Amazing read, if you are familiar with Mrs. Kingsbury then you will not be disappointed in this book. She out did herself.
